  Stage 4 Cancer to Kona Iron Man | James Logan | #28 | Mojo, Motivation & Mental Health

  Sep 1, 202643 minS1

  James Logan is a stage four colorectal cancer survivor, Ironman athlete, author, and cancer advocate. He speaks about what mental toughness really looks like when life gets stripped down to the essentials. The conversation centers on surviving a terminal diagnosis, steering suffering instead of surrendering to it, and finding purpose through faith, movement, and service. James shares how cancer became both the worst and best event of his life, and why the mindset that carries someone through Ironman training can also carry them through chemotherapy, surgeries, and uncertainty.

  Episode #27

  The Parent Burnout No One Talks About | Devora Segall | #27 | Mojo, Motivation & Mental Health

  Aug 25, 202636 minS1

  The parent crisis most people don’t talk about This conversation with licensed therapist and parenting coach Devora Segall looks at the work-home emotional disconnect that leaves many parents regulated all day at work and then depleted at home. Devora, who raised 10 children and wrote The Peaceful Parenting Solution , explains why burnout often shows up as yelling, guilt, and disconnection, and how parents can rebuild emotional regulation with learnable skills. We discuss why emotional regulation drains over the course of the day, how DBT can be adapted for parenting, and why self-compassion matters more than self-criticism when a parent is overwhelmed.

Nic shares how recovery, sobriety, and community helped her rebuild her life, then how storytelling became both a healing practice and a way to help others break mental health stigma. We discuss her immigrant journey from Trinidad and Tobago, the lowest point of her mental health crisis during the pandemic, how she built Guiding Brilliant Writers Publishing, and why her anthologies center author empowerment over gatekeeping. The episode closes with a powerful message about choosing to be more than a diagnosis, especially for anyone navigating mental illness, recovery, or the urge to tell their story.
